<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for forming a porous electrode without applying high-temperature heating treatment, an electrode manufactured by the method, and a photoelectric conversion element using the electrode. <P>SOLUTION: The electrode formation method includes a step where a particulate dispersed solution wherein a semiconductor particulate is dispersed in a solvent is applied to a substrate, and a step where, when the solvent in the applied particulate dispersed solution is evaporated to arrange the semiconductor particulate in order through self-organization so that a particulate arranged body is formed, the direction of the growth of the particulate arranged body is controlled. Thus, an electrode can be formed in a manner to have a substrate including the porous and less defective particulate arranged body wherein the particulates are in contact with one another. In addition, the formed electrode smoothly move electrons. An appropriate photoelectric conversion element can be obtained by adopting such the electrode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
